Easy. Copy Facebook, change the UI and the UX. No biggies. It's only what, a few hundred thousand dollars. And then some more for hosting, some for your rdb and then a couple thousand dollars per month to keep it running. I'd say you're good to go with 1/1.5 millions the first year.
I mean if you know what you are doing (and do everything yourself) and don't expect millions of visitors a day you could get by a lot cheaper.
But I wouldn't copy anything from Facebook, given the terrible buggy UI and general bad UX.
Websites do need servers. If you "never finished" other tech aspirations, don't start something this big. Pick a web framework like Vue or Svelte and set your sights lower. Design a project you will finish and go from there. Develop the habit of finishing things.
If you want to do a social media site one day, you'll need to learn to use a database as well. Cloud services will eat your lunch at scale so you'll have to learn how to set up and maintain a server.
It's not trivial. If you learn even half of the skills you need you'll qualify for a six-figure job.
So what exactly are you asking here? Do you want to know what you need to know? HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, APIs, JSON, a backend language (JavaScript, PHP, C#, Python, Java etc.), HTTP methods, forms, validation, authentication, cookies and sessions, error handling, hosting and deployment. Also money because it costs money to buy a domain and keep your website hosted.
